As Dai Weisi drew closer, Dai Mubai lowered his head further and further, afraid his brother would recognize his face.
But Dai Mubai was worrying for nothing. In his current state, even his own parents wouldn't have recognized him. Zhu Zhuqing could have crawled out of her coffin and she wouldn't have recognized him either.
"Why does something feel off?" Dai Weisi muttered. He turned to Mitsuki, who stood behind him with a faint smile. "Brother Mitsuki, do you see anything strange?"
